New York. Aug. 14. Ralls were less con spicuous In today's more circumscribed stock market yielding to Industrials and specialties of the several groups which owe their Intermittent activity to pools. During the morning, wnen price wera hlrhaat. attention was drawn towards th railroad contract conference at Washington, but prlcea broke 1 to 1 points later on an nouncement of Inconclusive action. Other restraining Influencee were tne weekly weather report Indicating crop de terioration In the west and southwest further activity of enemy submarines in nearby water and the rigidity ot call money, which held at ( per cent, albeit time funds were tn better supply. Share of the prominent electrical com panies enjoyed a brief period of strength and activity, due presumably to Secretary McAdoo's suggestion of an extettllon of the electrification of the country'-transportation systems, and telegraph and telephone share rallied substantially. Final quotations among leading rails and industrials were fractionally under those of the preceding day, United States Stoel yielding practically one point. St. Paul Issues displayed consistent strength and to baccos, oils and paper ended mostly at gain.

Rain and cooler tem peratures made the corn market average lower today, despite bullish crop advices both from government and private sources, The close was weak, 01o net lower, with September 11.61 01.61 and October $1.620163. Oats finished a shad off to o advance and provisions down 7c to 45c. Weakness In the corn market developed chiefly around the opening and the close. Initial declines were the most pronounced and were wholly doe to better weather con ditions, whereas final setback resulted more or less from profit taking sales. Only transient upturns were brought about by the adverse crop news because to a large extent the facts had been discounted In advance. The crop features that rscelved the greatest attention Included an estimate that the seven leading states would harvest 82,000,000 bushels less than had been Implied 'by the government returns of August 1. Besides, according to official announcement the crop in many upland dlstriots of Missouri, Kan sas, Oklahoma and Texas will be a failure outright. ' Oats were governed mainly by the action of corn. Gossip was current that the -movement to terminal markets Is not as heavy as the trade had expected. Provisions went down grade with bogs. Business, however, was small. Chicago, Au,. 14.

Counties: I have filed for the Republican Nomination for Con gress and want your support. My home has been in Douglas County for eighteen years. My father and grandfather were pioneers and homesteaded in Doug-, las County; my children were born here. My business is located here and I always expect to make Omaha my home, therefore I claim the right to call you my neigh bors. . -1 For fifteen years I have taken an active interest in cleaning up politics and putting out of business the old Third Ward gang and the special interests that sup ported it financially. They are now fighting my nomi nation and spending a lot of money to beat me at the eleventh hour. They know I put through the Direct Primary arid the Election Commission Law, "Known as the Dodge Election Law," which made it impossible to control nominations and steal elections ,by crooked counts 'or ballot-box stuffing. So I have Earned their hatred arid I am proud of the enemies I have made, but I don't want you to let them beat me for this nomination. I stand for a vigorous prosecution of the war, re gardless of politics. I believe in a national budget for congress and more economy and efficiency in public business. I believe , in protecting the people in the cost of living by regulat ing distribution of food, and the encouragement of co operative organizations. I believe there should be some arrangement and regulation of the purchase and sale of raw materials, so as to protect American labor from ruinous foreign competition. Let us stand together in this fight to 'protect the rights of the American people, now, as well as in the reconstruction period which we will soon'have to face. VOTE FOR at the Primaries for C. G.
